it is not what keir starmer is doing. and prime ministers, if you read the books, there's some very good ones on the last ten prime ministers, they have to give us a tune to hum. they have to take us to the shining city on the hill. keir starmer may be very well advised to read the commentary i've seen in the statesman, the spectator. george osborne's been out on his podcast saying there's nothing wrong with a little bit of hope. i totally agree with paddy and actually it's really interesting that echoes across the water in america. kamala harris has completely embraced that, and i was talking to a couple of labour insiders about, you know, is there enough pain being talked about now that is going to overshadow the beginning of this labour government? but look, it's early days, it's two months in, so, keir starmer did a big speech on tuesday in the downing street garden, and we're using the oasis song lyric don't look back in anger to describe this section. and here is a little bit of keir starmer looking back, kind of in

from keir get excessive beer, nothing from keir?keir as long as it's from notting hill and that's the message he's sending. he's sending a very two tier system. as you said once again, you know here we are . if again, you know here we are. if you complain about immigration in this country, the full force of the law and more scarily, i expect serious if you sentence immigration, expect serious, serious sentences coming down from the judiciary. but here, as you said, the number of arrests which you know, par were those of the first couple of days of the riots of notting hill, exactly the same. i expected him to be saying exactly the same. we will be having our courts open tonight, and i expect serious because that will stop happening this year about this happening this year about this happening every single year. >> we have this conversation all the time. >> even the police officer, even one of the police officers at the met said he's sick and tired of saying every single year there's been this level of violence. well, the way to stop

i want to look at keir starmer's response, the policing response. i want to look at the role of the media, social media. and you know what.7 we need some goodness. so let's have a look at how people have come together after all of this. as well. also tonight there is another vigil happening in southport. tonight there is another vigil happening in southport . right happening in southport. right now, of course, so many of the unrest has been sparked by the horrendous murdering of the three little girls. that's the scenes that you are seeing on your screens right now. a beautiful a community coming together, lots of little girls. waving their bubbles, lots of flowers, a community in mourning, but one also clearly taking lots of strength from each other to . indeed. so, as i each other to. indeed. so, as i said , lots of discourse between said, lots of discourse between now and 7:00. but first, let's get the 6:00 news headlines . get the 6:00 news headlines. >> good evening from the gb newsroom. it'sjust >> good evening from the gb newsroom. it's just

so you're in keir starmer's team.ng at all the polling and it's saying two thirds of brits associate the protests and the riots with immigration. right. you're looking at the polling. it's also saying immigration is the number one issue facing the country. so here's my question. he's given a number of speeches since the riots and the protests. why hasn't he once mentioned the word immigration? why is he not once said, i get that this might actually be rooted in people's concerns over what's happening on the borders. and with immigration. >> go on. »- >> go on. >> so i can tell you what what i think, like, i don't know that they haven't consulted me about this, but, as you say, given all that , it's this, but, as you say, given all that, it's very unlikely indeed that, it's very unlikely indeed that they just forgot. isn't it? it's very unlikely to be an oversight . so what i think it's very unlikely to be an oversight. so what i think is going on is what i was talking about earlier. i think deliberately what they're s

oh sorry, sorry sir keir . 1000 illegals. oh sorry, sorry sir keir.anyway they've arrived or whatever they are in just two days and he can't stop banging on about the so—called far right. all right, i demand a plan and some common sense from our prime minister. can i also just say at 10:30 pm, starmer has dropped an p.m, starmer has dropped an absolute corker of a line that i know is going to enrage quite a few of you. i'll bring you that on the dot at 10:30 pm. stay tuned for that warm feeling inside from boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather update brought to you from the met office. thursday will be a breezy and showery day for northwestern areas. elsewhere. though dry and feeling fairly warm in the sun. but it is going to be a fresher day tomorrow compared to today as as this weather front is expected to clear away to the south and east throughout tonight , taking with throughout tonight, taking with it some rain which will affect northeastern areas of england, some eastern areas

somebody take keir starmer apart. do that, i'll vote for them. >> everyone's been perfectly plausible, a very tactful answer there from david davis. thank you so much forjoining us on the show. i'm now joined by mike tapp, labour mp for dover and deal tapp, labour mp for dover and deal. so you've been in the us for the last week or so. i think speaking to kamala harris's team, what have you been doing there? can you tell us a bit about your trip? >> it was a really interesting trip , essentially what we're trip, essentially what we're doing. we went over in january, a group of candidates at the time to learn from the americans and the democrats and looking at their campaign methods , etc. we their campaign methods, etc. we went back out, obviously, after our landslide victory, to impart some of our knowledge as to what we learn on the campaign trail and look at what they're doing with their campaign. it's really interesting, actually. and one of the big messages that i was taking over there was to ensure that with the

>> well what keir starmer, what keir starmer should have done.in his manifesto, if that's what he wanted to do. and so should the liberal democrats. but perhaps the liberal democrats, you know, it appears that their only policy is going back into the european union, but perhaps they should concentrate more on productivity and some of the things that really impact the lives of people throughout this country , people throughout this country, rather than their ideological preoccupations . preoccupations. >> okay, gentlemen, a spirited debate with both sides of the argument there. former liberal democrat mp mark oaten and of course, james day, the former deputy chair of the conservative party. let's admit it, lads, haven't we missed arguing about brexit? superb stuff. i hope you enjoyed that as much as i do. thank you to you also, katherine forster for joining thank you to you also, katherine forster forjoining me in the studio. now brace yourselves, it's studio. now brace yourselves, wsfime studio. now brace yourselves, it's time for the great britis

do you actually do you think we should be a bit afraid of sir keir starmer ? keir starmer?th the size of his majority, because effectively he can do what he likes, and so long as his backbenchers go along with him, then, you know, he is all powerful. so i would always be rather wary of that situation. but yes, i think his instincts are pretty authoritarian. and the smoking ban is just one example of that. but i think his instincts are that if he thinks something is right, instincts are that if he thinks something is right , then it must something is right, then it must be done. and that is the exact reverse of how democracy works. >> i think there's also a personality question, isn't there really, and whether or not he is actually, you know, the times that he was telling us, reminding us in the run up to the election that he used to be the election that he used to be the he used to be the prosecutor . the he used to be the prosecutor. for me, that's starting to look a little bit more sinister now in the cold light of day. i know keir starmer will disagree with this. he'd sa

for sir keir time, james.eir starmer thus far, all these popularity ratings, early term blues or indication of something more to come . more to come. >> well before we come to keir starmer, martin, i don't think any asylum seeker has been pampered that i can see. i don't think that's the experience at all. so i have to challenge that off the bat. however, keir starmer's popularity rating you're absolutely right, it's taking a plummet and i think it's to be expected. i mean , it's to be expected. i mean, there's always going to be this situation right when you're on the outside and you're in opposition and you're shouting in, you know, there's always going to be that chance to build your credibility, to build your portfolio of , you know, of portfolio of, you know, of everything you can offer the country and everything you can stand for. and then when you're in power, you are suddenly responsible for everything that goes wrong and things that aren't of your making, things that you've never dreamt would be a pro

but of what keir starmer might be laying out? �* , . ., ., , out?er the _ out? an interesting contrast with the day after the election, - out? an interesting contrast with the day after the election, that i the day after the election, that early morning speech the prime minister gave in the tate modern in london when he talks about a new dawn and gave over a really optimistic vision, actually, although what was going to happen over the next few months. it is different to what the prime minister was saying during the election campaign. he always talked about this idea of a decade of renewal, about not being able to fix things overnight and taking time. in that sense the speech we are about to hear is perhaps slightly the greatest hits of keir starmer that we heard during the election campaign and in opposition. however, it matters more than ever. now he is actually a number ten he needs to put flesh on the bones, explain more about what it means in practice. it's all very well rolling the pitch for some difficult decisions but those decisions have to

and that's clearly what keir starmer wants to do.to get germany on side, in order to really talk to the eu, in a broader sense. so i think we've got two things going on. on the one hand, bilateral talks with germany, particularly on defence. on the other hand, getting germany onside, in order to push forward broader eu collaboration between london and brussels. let's speak to our political correspondent henry zeffman, who's in berlin with the prime minister. we heard about that eu reset sir keir starmer would like. tell us what that means.— keir starmer would like. tell us what that means. ~ . ., what that means. well, we have heard that word reset _ what that means. well, we have heard that word reset an _ what that means. well, we have heard that word reset an awful— what that means. well, we have heard that word reset an awful lot _ what that means. well, we have heard that word reset an awful lot from - that word reset an awful lot from sir keir starmer whenever he has met a european leader in his two short months as prime minist

the bit that really struck me was keir - that really struck me was keir starmer saying the budget inof decisions by the government that will be pretty unpopular. short—term pain for long—term gain was the way the prime minister put it. he is doing that at the start of his administration because this is the easiest time to do it. he hasjust won a comfortable majority in parliament. it�*s anotherfour won a comfortable majority in parliament. it�*s another four and a half years until there is another general election, so this is the time the government can perhaps afford to do the really unpopular stuff. but as we have seen with winter fuel payments, and as we may see with more decisions the government announces, see with more decisions the governmentannounces, unpopular government announces, unpopular decisions governmentannounces, unpopular decisions can lead to a lot of pressure, notjust from the public but also from mps as well. the decision number ten now has to weigh up decision number ten now has to weigh up is what the specifics of that will look like if the budget is going to b

this is where keir starmer, sir keir starmer really has got to get a grip if he wants to do anything across the channel and will continue to come . 19,000 already this year, come. 19,000 already this year, i suspect it will be closer to 40 50,000 by the end of the yeah 40 50,000 by the end of the year. that's not acceptable. >> so we could be on for a bumper or even a record year in terms of that deterrent. now, you and i have spoken many times in the past about rwanda. certainly it had its flaws, mainly the massive cost. not a single flight got off the ground. that was largely because of the activists, the lawyers, the echr call it what you want. nevertheless, that was scrapped . nevertheless, that was scrapped. now the plan to smash the gangs, can we smash these gangs any more than we can stop the drug gangs out? >> no, there's no question of it. it's impossible. i mean, there seems to be a thought that there seems to be a thought that there is a mr. big or several mr bigs, and they're all sitting there planning and plotting. it doesn't work that way. and they know that the governm

keir starmer tojoin his german counterpart.cussion earlier today regarding a treaty. now it's time for the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. we've had some heavy showers this morning, particularly so across wales and southwest england. now, as we go through today, the weather front responsible for that will still be with us. here it is here — it's moving northwards and eastwards. it's the dregs of yesterday's weather front. and then we have another one coming in across the northwest, introducing some heavy showers for northern ireland and western scotland. and you may well hear the odd rumble of thunder from those too. but in between these two areas, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, areas of cloud floating around at times, but it will feel quite warm in the southeastern corner. we could reach 28 degrees today, fresher across the northwest where we're looking at 15 to about 18 degrees. now, through this evening and overnight, everything pushes into the north sea. we'll have clear skies for a time, but then further sh

keir starmer, my point is keir starmer keeps rabbiting on about the so—called far right, but no one evenbe able to define what it is and even just in your definition, we've gone from you defined the far right as people that rioted. then you said, okay, it's not the kids, it's the leaders. then when i've put you allow the harehills riots is far right. then you say, no, they're not far right. then when you say you mean the far right, people are the ones that are targeting the mosque. and then he points out that it was actually some random fella in pakistan that spread all those rumours. then you don't think he didn't target the mosque? >> i mean, i'm anas sarwar very long arms. >> if he's sitting in pakistan, isn't he to be able to target a mosque in the uk? all i'm saying is, is i think that people, people who go to a mosque to try and set it on fire, which is what happened, right? >> i mean, it's disgraceful. >> i mean, it's disgraceful. >> it's criminal behaviour. >> it's criminal behaviour. >> it's criminal behaviour. >> i mean that that is clear, right? there's no one at this table wh
